Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Sun Ruhua waved her hands hastily: "No, no!"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at her empty basket and asked, "Who did you meet in town?"

Sun Ruhua immediately retorted: "No!"

Xie Jiaojiao knew she was lying by looking at her guilty expression, but she didn't expose her.

"Mom is going to cook first."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything.

After Sun Ruhua left, Jiang Weinan asked, "What happened to mom?"

"how could I know."

Xie Jiaojiao also went upstairs.

Jiang Weinan followed him upstairs and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "You have harvested the sugarcane, and I see you don't have anything else to do. Why don't you follow me back to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "The capital is so far away, it will take more than half a month to go back and forth. Besides, it's winter now, it's too cold, I won't go."

Since she said she didn't want to go, Jiang Weinan definitely wouldn't force her, and just said, "Since you don't want to go, then I won't go either!"

While Xie Jiaojiao was tidying up the account books on the desk, she said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go."

Jiang Weinan leaned against the desk and shook his head: "Wherever you are, I will be there!"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and he looked at her, just when he thought they were in love.

All I heard was Xie Jiaojiao gnashing her teeth and saying, "Get out of the way, you're holding up my account book!"

Jiang Weinan: ...

For several days in a row, Sun Ruhua went to the town.

And every time she came back, Sun Ruhua's eyes looked red from crying.

Moreover, Jiang Weinan discovered these days that no matter what Xie Jiaojiao did, she seemed absent-minded.

That day, Xie Jiaojiao asked Jiang Weinan: "If one day your father finds his conscience, changes his mind, and treats you well, will you forgive your father?"

"That's impossible. Don't even think about it! Oh, he changed his mind and treated me better again. Does that mean the harm he did to me before doesn't exist anymore?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded. This was exactly the truth. Just like what people said in later generations: If apologies were useful, what would we do with the police?

Xie Jiaojiao felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk, so she pulled Jiang Weinan along.

Jiang Weinan was of course happy to do so, and he even deliberately went back into the house to change his clothes.

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes when she saw it: "You are a grown man, do you have to be so particular?"

Jiang Weinan looked at himself and asked, "Am I usually like this?"

Xie Jiaojiao suddenly remembered what Jiang Caifeng had said before: "You all started from different points..."

Fine……

"Let's go, young master!" Xie Jiaojiao picked up a basket and a hoe.

Jiang Weinan looked curious: "Where are we going? Are we going to work?"

"You'll know once I take you there."

Jiang Weinan hurried to follow.

Lai Fu followed immediately.

Jiang Weinan kicked him directly: "I'm going out with your young mistress, why are you following me!"

Lai Fu immediately understood what he meant and said, "Then I won't bother the young master and the young mistress anymore."

"You are wise!"

Xie Jiaojiao's face turned red, but she didn't say anything.

Along the way, the villagers in the village greeted Xie Jiaojiao.

This year, most people in the village made some money because of Xie Jiaojiao, so they were extra polite to her, even a little bit flattering!

Xie Jiaojiao was also willing to accept this bit of flattery. After all, she did make money for everyone!

Xie Jiaojiao walked towards the old house where they lived before.

Jiang Weinan asked, "Are we going up the mountain?"

"No, there is a bamboo forest next to the house. I will take you there to dig some bamboo shoots for you to eat."

Jiang Weinan nodded.

The two passed by the house, Xie Jiaojiao looked inside, and saw Niu Er!

"Niu Er, what are you doing here?"

Niu Er was obviously frightened by Xie Jiaojiao.

"Xie Xiaogu, are you going to the mountain?"

Xie Jiaojiao pointed to the bamboo forest not far away: "We are going to dig some winter bamboo shoots, why are you here?"

Niu Er looked a little unnatural. Xie Jiaojiao walked inside with the basket. It seemed that Niu Er didn't want to let him in, intentionally or unintentionally?

Xie Jiaojiao frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?"

Niu Er stammered and couldn't say anything.

"I... I just went up the mountain to chop wood, and I passed by... and came in to rest for a while."

Niu Er finished speaking and made way: "Xie Xiaogu, do you want to sit with us before we go?"

He acted so naturally that Xie Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand: "I won't sit down anymore."

After saying that, Xie Jiaojiao took Jiang Weinan away.

But the more I walked, the more I felt something was not right.

"Do you think there's something wrong with Niu Er?" she asked Jiang Weinan.

Jiang Weinan held the hoe for her, looking confused: "Is there?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I feel something is wrong. A few days ago, I ran into him in the village and he looked sick, but today he looks very lively!"

What kind of adjective is this? Jiang Weinan said casually: "Maybe he was really sick a few days ago, and he has recovered these few days. Isn't he in good spirits?"

Xie Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly. Is that so?

The rest of the journey was silent.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest, Xie Jiaojiao began to look for winter bamboo shoots and finally found one.

"The winter bamboo shoots have just started to emerge, so they are really hard to find!" said Xie Jiaojiao.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Weinan shouted, "There's one here!"

Xie Jiaojiao walked over with a hoe and saw that it was indeed a person.

"Heh... I didn't expect you to have such sharp eyes!"

Jiang Weinan looked very impressed: "Of course!"

The two men dug in the bamboo forest for a long time and dug up a basket of bamboo shoots.

Jiang Weinan asked: "What are you going to do with these bamboo shoots?"

Xie Jiaojiao held up the basket with her wrist: "Anything is fine, kimchi, stewed chicken, roasted duck, anything is fine!"

Jiang Weinan listened and said, "I'm afraid this is not enough!"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "We're not going to eat all the bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are just a garnish!"

"Since it's just for decoration, you have dried mushrooms and radishes at home, why did you have to run so far to get these bamboo shoots? Look, your hands are full of hairs, it's disgusting, and it's a bit prickly!"

Xie Jiaojiao's mind suddenly became clear after hearing what he said.

Yes, the protagonist of her life is herself, and the people and things she meets are just embellishments!

On the way back, Xie Jiaojiao was very happy. Seeing her happy, Jiang Weinan was happy too.

"What's wrong? I just accompanied you to dig bamboo shoots. How could you be so happy?"

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes: "Don't flatter yourself! It was you who wanted to come here, I just asked!"

Jiang Weinan: ...

The next day, Jiang Weinan complained to Lai Fu: "Your young lady really doesn't understand romance!"

Lai Fu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Master, the young mistress is not as idle as you are all day long! Don't just cause trouble for her all day long!"

As soon as he said this, Jiang Weinan was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them at him!

Lai Fu dodged.

Jiang Weinan pointed at him and said, "Do you dare to hide now?"

Lai Fu immediately picked up his shoes and said, "Okay, Master, you don't really want to hit me, you just want to vent your anger!"

Jiang Weinan took the shoes, put them on himself, and glared at Lai Fu: "Don't think that just because you have been following me since you were a child, I will be lenient with you!"

Lai Fu nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Master. You are the sky and the earth! You are my master, Lai Fu!"

Jiang Weinan calmed down with a few words, and said, "Go show me what your young mistress is doing! I haven't seen her for almost a whole day!"

Lai Fu looked at Jiang Weinan: "Didn't the young lady say she was going to town to do something?"

"She's coming to town without me?"

Jiang Weinan was angrily preparing to go to the town, and even asked Lai Fu to harness the carriage!

But just as I reached the door, I saw Xie Jiaojiao coming back, followed by Sun Ruhua!

There was no expression on Xie Jiaojiao's face, while Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao cautiously.

"Jiaojiao..."

Xie Jiaojiao ignored her and went straight upstairs.

Sun Ruhua felt uncomfortable again for a moment.

Jiang Weinan greeted Xie Jiaojiao, but Xie Jiaojiao ignored him.

Jiang Weinan looked puzzled: "Mom, what happened to you?"

Sun Ruhua glanced at him, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything. In the end, she went straight to the kitchen to cook.

After the meal was ready, Xie Jiaojiao came downstairs with a bundle in her hand.

Jiang Weinan immediately asked her: "Where are you going?"

Xie Jiaojiao said, "Let's go and stay in town for a few days!"

After saying that, without even looking at the food on the table, he pulled Jiang Weinan and walked out.

When they reached the door, Jiang Weinan looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Why do I feel like there's something strange going on between you and mom? Did you have a fight?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Sun Ruhua chasing him out, shouting at Xie Jiaojiao: "My daughter, don't leave. I have my reasons too!"

Xie Jiaojiao turned around and looked at Sun Ruhua: "What's the reason?"

After saying that, he chuckled and said, "What difficulties do you have that require you to take the money to help Xie Zhishu's family?"

When Jiang Weinan heard the name Xie Zhishu, he thought, isn’t Xie Zhishu Xie Jiaojiao’s former elder brother?

But wasn’t their family driven out of the village?

Why did you suddenly appear again?

When Sun Ruhua talked about this, her eyes turned red.

Xie Jiaojiao continued, "Mom, don't forget what you promised me when you came back from Xie Zhili's house! If you really can't do it, or you can't make up your mind, then I will be the bad guy. At worst, I will bear the reputation of being unfilial."

As soon as Xie Jiaojiao said this, Sun Ruhua immediately became anxious: "Jiaojiao, it's not that serious!"

Xie Jiaojiao laughed sarcastically: "I watched you take money from Xie Kun, do you think this is not serious enough?"

Sun Ruhua shook her head and finally couldn't help but said: "Your eldest brother was beaten and crippled! Xie Kun can't take care of him alone! Mother saw that they were having a hard time, so she wanted to help!"

Xie Zhishu is disabled?

Ah……

Xie Jiaojiao just didn’t believe it!

And if he was really disabled, could he have caused so many troubles?

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Sun Ruhua continued.

It turned out that after Xie Zhishu was driven out of the village, he followed Chen Hongju to Chen Hongju's parents' home.

But Chen Hongju's parents were having a hard time, and when they saw them coming with so many bags, they immediately felt unhappy.

At the beginning, Xie Zhishu had some money from selling land, so he was okay with them. After all, Chen Hongju's eldest brother's son was looking for a marriage, so he wanted them to contribute some money, so he asked him to "borrow" a few taels to arrange a marriage for his son.

But Xie Zhishu knew that this money was his life-saving money, so he refused to lend it to him no matter what!

If he doesn't lend it, he will naturally be disliked by the Chen family!

Within two days, the Chen family drove them away with various reasons.

Xie Zhishu also wanted to save face, so he moved out of his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house and bought an abandoned and dilapidated house in the next village to live in.

Once he settled down there, he immediately asked someone to inquire about buying land.

However, the farmers were growing rice in their fields, so he didn't buy it. Fortunately, there was a yard in front of the shabby house where he could grow vegetables.

With the surplus food they took away from the village, the family could barely survive!

But the eldest brother of the Chen family had no choice but to run to their house and take Chen Hongju away because he was forced by money to get his son married.

At first she said that the elderly at home was sick and asked her to go back to take care of him. Later she used all kinds of excuses to get rid of her!

Anyway, he just didn't want to stay at home. It was useless even though Xie Zhishu came to make trouble several times!

Every time we picked someone up on the first day, they would be taken away again on the second day.

Xie Zhishu thought, since he had no land and no work at home, and Chen Hongju was called away by his family, he could save money on a meal. After they called her a few more times, Xie Zhishu just ignored her!

That day, when he was sitting at home and his neighbor next door asked about Chen Hongju, he suddenly remembered that Chen Hongju had been called away this time and had not returned for more than half a month!

Xie Zhishu then realized that something was wrong and hurried to Chen's house, thinking of bringing the person back!

But when they arrived at the Chen family, there was no sign of Chen Hongju at all. Xie Zhishu looked around but couldn't find her!

At first they made all kinds of excuses, saying that Chen Hongju had gone home a long time ago and was no longer at their house. Then they said that Chen Hongju had gone to her uncle's house in the next village to help!

Anyway, I just can’t hand over Chen Hongju!

Finally, when they started to fight, the Chen family told the truth. Chen Hongju was made into a concubine by them!

Xie Zhishu was so angry that he wanted to beat the head of the Chen family to death!

What is a "狃花女"? "狃花女" means giving birth to a child for someone else!

It is very common to see flower girls in rural areas, but they are more common in poor villages in the mountains!

If a family really can't afford to marry a wife, but wants to have an heir, they will buy a woman's belly to bear a child for them. Such women are usually married or have given birth to children. Women who are willing to be a flower girl are usually from very poor families, either their husbands have died or their husbands are incompetent...

Although the thing called being a flower-obsessed girl does exist, if a woman in that family really becomes one, then that family will be criticized by others!

No man can tolerate his woman becoming a prostitute!

Isn't this actively putting a green hat on your own head?

Xie Zhishu went crazy and wanted to beat up the eldest son of the Chen family. Even his father-in-law got hit a few times!

The eldest brother of the Chen family was beaten to death, so he raised his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, don't blame us. Who asked us to borrow money from you and you refused? The woman is asking for money, so we have to collect enough money and send it to her. This is the only solution we can think of!"

"But don't worry, my sister will come back after she gives birth to this baby!"

Xie Zhishu's eyes turned red with anger: "She is my wife! What right do you have to let her become a lowly prostitute? Aren't you making me, Xie Zhishu, unable to hold my head up when I go out in the future?"

The old lady and the old man of the Chen family disagreed with his statement.

"Why? Because we are her father and mother!"

"She is Dashan's aunt! She should contribute to the boy's marriage! And she agreed to this! Also, you were kicked out of the village before! Are you afraid of what others will say?"

Xie Zhishu disagreed and argued with them, but they had already taken the money, so why would they argue with you about this?

The eldest son of the Chen family covered his eyes that had just been hit and said, "Anyway, my sister is already pregnant with that family's baby, and the baby has been taken away. It's useless for you to make a fuss!"

Xie Zhishu rushed forward again in anger!

Just then, the eldest son of the Chen family came back.

Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly shouted, "Gou Wa, he's beating up your dad, go and help him!"

Gou Wa joined in directly!

Together with the eldest brother of the Chen family, they beat up Xie Zhishu!
